Vrbata will be coveted by many teams and will probably be asking for term. That is what concerns me about him. Depending on how crazy some of these teams get he could be this year's David Clarkson. If he would settle for a short term deal with a rebuilding team I'd be all for it, I just don't see it happening, personally.

You could be totally right on both points. I have to agree with you that Havlat never struck me as a pouter or a quitter either. So there is the flip-side to my fear that if he DID find his game again, it would be a huge boon to the locker room and another great story from a Flames season.
